Accessories
Water coupling, supplied with PET3CW10000H3     CWPA323A
Thermal fuse available for PET3CW10000H3           PA85E
Cathode connector               WPA830
 
For frequencies above 2MHz, CWPA830 should be used in conjunction with a strip connection to provide a low inductance cathode return.
 
Cooling
Anode is cooled by circulating water through the removable anode water jacket. The table below lists the minimum water flow requirement for adequate anode cooling at various anode dissipation levels. In all cases, the outlet water temperature must not exceed 70 ⁰C nor should inlet water pressure exceed 60 psi. This table is based upon 20 ⁰C temperature rise.
 
Additional forced-air cooling of the tube base is also required to maintain ceramic-to-metal seal temperature below the 250 ⁰C maximum. Approximately 50 ft3/min of cooling air directed into the base structure will generally satisfy requirements.

NOTES

  1. The filament voltage measured at the tube should be 7.5 V ± 5% for satisfactory performance, maximum life is obtained at –5% (7.1 V).
  2. The filament current must not exceed 375 A, even momentarily, at any time.
  3. Maximum anode voltage and current should not be applied simultaneously; this could result in excessive anode dissipation. The anode supply should include current-limiting resistors, and an over-current trip to remove anode voltage quickly in the event of an overload or arc (such load variations and faults are common in industrial service). Spark gaps should be connected between anode and ground, to protect the tube from voltage transients under fault conditions.
  4. The grid current rating of 0.5 A of d.c. should not be exceed, except for very short periods during tuning. Normally, reasonable efficiency can be obtained with a grid current not exceeding 0.25 A. The grid circuit should include over-current protection, and d.c. grid current should be monitored continuously during industrial operation with varying loads.
